Kennedy Agyapong has restated his stance that Vice President Moahamudu Bawumia has been a failure in the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government with respect to economic leadership. "Yes of course, (he has failed in Akufo-Addo’s government)," Agyapong stated in an interview on Correct FM in the Western Region over the weekend. In explaining Bawumia’s failure, Agyapong cited the exchange rate slump from when the New Patriotic Party (NPP) took over till date – a movement from around four cedis to 11.8 cedis currently. Agyapong will contest for the flagbearership slot of the NPP along with three other contenders including Vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto, and Francis Addai-Nimoh. The NPP has slated November 4, 2023, to elect a successor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as leader of the party.
